Looking Up.

1t has been said that God put the
stars in the sky so that men should look
up" The men of Galilee gazed up
ward when Christ was taken from their
sight. 1t is not blind following OF
tradition which leads us to locate
Heaven above, rather than beneath or
around us. Gazing upward, whether
in bright MONDAY, when tleecy clouds
float over the azure. or in the quiet
evening, when moon and stars are
revealing their splendors, has often the
effect of calming the troubled heart.
What better preparation for a quiet
sleep than Il few minutes spent in COM
munion with the Creator through His
most brilliant handiwork? Below,
there is the restless hurrying to and
fro; Wonder there is calm, rest, bliss.
Looking up, let your thought travel
from one star to another. God knows
each of those worlds, represented by its
little point of light, as well as you know
your own room. He made that Won
derful star, and placed it in the wonder
full system to which it belongs. and He
made the law which keeps it in place.
No one of the heavenly bodies is so far
removed from Him that He is not ever
watching over it and providing for it.
Can not such God be trusted with the
care of His loved and loving child?-
S. S. Times.

How shall we define this golden at
tribute of mercy? Is it not the one
perfection which we creatures give. or

could He have mercy were it not for

omnipotence, and the sweetness of His
omnipresence; the fruit of His eternity,
and the compassion of His immensely;
the chief satisfaction of His Justice;
the triumph of his wisdom. and the
patient perseverance of His love.
Wherever we go there is mercy, the
peaceful, active, broad, deep, endless
mercy of our Heavenly Father. If we
work by day, we work in mercy's light,

THE CHRISTIAN SABBATH.
What the Effort to Break 1t Down Means
to the Working People-Three Ways
of Using SUNDAY.

What the Effort to Break 1t Down Means
to the Working PeopIe-Three Ways
of Using Sunday.
The effort to break down the Chris
tan Sabbath simply means, being in
terprcted, that the working people of
this country are in imminent danger of
being reduced to slavery. That's the
plain Anglo-SaXon of it When man
is compelled to work seven days in the
week, no matter what he calls himself
or what others call him, he a slave.
Having the Sabbath at our disposal,
there is difference of opinion as to
how we shall use it. We are not all
agreed upon this point.
There are three different ways of US
ing Sunday. 1t may be devoted to
l. Rest or dissipation; or
2. Rest and recreation; or
3. Rest and religious obligation.
If man devotes his Sundays to the
firSt-to rest and dissipation-two
things follow. As he can not dissipate
except at the expense of the toll of
others, he compcls them to become his
slaves. If he prefers his dissipation to
the rest of others, he is as hard-hearted
as all Egyptian task-master, and, too,
he makes Il slave of himself; he sells
himself into the slavery of appetite and
lust. If he devotes Sunday simply to
rest and recreation, he is thereby de-
graded to Il level with the animal crea-
ton. The horse is kept in the stable
or let loose into the pasture on Sunday
that he may rest and recreate. Rest
and recreation are all that the animal
nature requires; so when a man con-
fines his Sabbath to these two uses, he
only goes as far as meeting the de-
mands of his inferior nature. Sunday
to him is only a holiday. But if he
uses the day for rest from ordinary la
Dor and the fulfilment of religious obl,-
CATION, then in the most effectual way
he maintains his rights as a man, and
he lifts himself up into kinship with
the Divine.

which is so valuable friend of work
ing people as the Christian Sabbath.
You can afford to part with many
things You hold dear before you part
with this.
Whether this institution shall live or
decay does not depend upon the penal
code OF any laws in the statute books,
but upon you; you, the working people;
You, who are dependent upon your
daily wages. In this momentous mat
ter, your will is law; in its final deci-
sion, your will is omnipotent. So be-
cause we desire to see you lifted up IN
stead of being put down, and for the
sake of your homes and your liberty
we urge You, when God says: RE
member the Sabbath day and keep il
holy" to answer: by the help of
God. we will. ~ B. Remick, in

Composition of Rails.

1t is stated that the average compost
ton of rails manufactured at the five
well-known German establishments OF
Horde. Krupp, WikOwitz, Phoenix and
Reschitza, is as follows: Carbon. O.31;
manganese, o 3S, silicium, COS: phos-
phorus. 0.09; sulphur, 0.O1; and copper,
Ola. But the composition of rails from
the Paris, Lyons and Mediterranean
railroad, and which are said to. have
proved better in respect to wear than
the above. averaged as follows: Carbon,
O.SS; manganese, 0.69; silicium. OILS;
phosphorus, nearly 0.05, and sulphur,
COS. 1t further appears that although
on German railroads the rolling stock
is lighter, and the speed of the trains
slower than characterize French rail-
roads. yet, with equivalent conditions
in respect to track, the difference in the
wear of the rails is ascertained to be as
much as l to 1.5, in favor of those man,
ufactured in France.-M 7. San.

ABOUT SALT LAKES.
why Some Inland Waters Contain Larg<
Deposits Of Saline Matter.

why Some Inland Waters Contain Large
Deposits of Saline Matter.
The cause of the sadness of some
American lakes is too patent to require
many words of explanation. 1t is prob
able that, when the continents were
raised from the sea, the lake-basins
had been already form cd, and came up,
therefore, brimful of water. In the
northern and eastern part of the CONT
nent, where the supply from rain and
snow fall exceeds the loss by evapora-
ton, the salt, being continuously car
ried away through their outlets, has
become so diluted as to become an i'm
perceptible quantity. In arid regions,
as the Pacific slope and the country
about the Caspian, where tie cvapora-
ton was in excess of the supply, the
water-level of the lakes continuously
sank until, on account of the dimin-
ished extent of surface. the equilibrium
of loss and gain was attained. Hence
the exceeding sadness of Great Salt
Lake, the Dead Sea, etc. For a like
reason the water of the Mediterranean
contains more salt relatively than that
of the ocean. Evaporation exceeding
the supplies from the rivers and rain
fall, it requires a constant current
through the Straits of Gibraltar. The
same is true of the Red Sea, causing a
like current through the Strait-el-Man-
deb. Other salt or brackish lakes
probably owe their saltncss to the sup
plies from the land. Water being the
most general of all solvents, the rains
gather up the chloride of sodium from
the soils and the disintcgrating rocks,
and where the streams fall into lakes
whose only outlet is evaporation. the
land itself must be constant source
of saline supply, and their waters must
become more and more salt, until their
capacity as a solvent has been reached.
The Utah Basin must once have been
filled to its brim with ocean water. The
outlet has been evaporation. The lake.
receding to its present level. has left
many evidences of its former extent

A Pleasure Shared by Women Only.

Malherbe, the gifted French author, de-
clared that of all things that man possesses,
women alone take pleasure in being pos
sessed. This seems generally true of the
sweeter sex. Like the ivy plant, she longs
for an object to cling to and love-to look to
for protection. This being her prerogative,
ought she not to be told that DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is the physical saliva
ton of her sex? 1t banishes those distress
ing maladies that make her life a burden,

ton, debility, relieves mental anxiety and n.y.
pochondria, and promotes refreshing sleep.

Some Interesting Facts Concerning This
British Piece of Gold.
The British sovereign. or pound ster.
ling, is q legal tender to unlimited
amo, mt, and contains 113 grains of fine
gold, alloyed with two grains of copper
for every twenty-five grains fine. Under
the act of 1916, when our silver standard
was abolished, the gold pound was made

of gold first came into use in the reign of
Edward III, his noble" being valued at
IS. 3d., but as it gradually increased in
value until it became 10s., Edward vi
replaced the former coin by an "angel,"
which continued till the Common
wealth. The mark" was q "double
angel" valued at lbs. 4d. The name
sovereign was first given to the double
royal stamped with the figure Of Henry
VII, and was made current for 20s. !;
Henry VIII called it q "unit," and
stamped it with the Roman numerals
Xxx; Charles called it guinea, because
the gold emanated from the Guinea coast.
Guineas were first coined in 1868; later
this coin fuctuated in value from 20s. to
21s., until George declared it a repre-
sentative of 21s. After this we had a

identical with the pound sterling, and the
silver coins became mere tokens, deriv-
ing their value from the pound, as at
present. The half sovereign was the
